Hosted a large party event there last week for a milestone birthday after having a wonderful dining experience in May 2023. The experience this time was horrible and disappointing in multiple ways, and I’ll never be returning there. To start, there was miscommunication with the reservation and the pre-fix menu which I think contributed to the frustration of our server. He disregarded us throughout the meal and didn’t check in. We had to flag him down for service on a Sunday when the restaurant wasn’t very busy. The server was very short with me and my guests when we asked for anything. When I tried to provide feedback and explain the pre-fix menu options for dessert, the server barked at me...
A rather uninspired Italian restaurant IMO. The service was great and the vibe was good, but the menu is an awkward middle ground between modern and classic Italian. The dishes were simple in a disappointingly uncreative way that did not justify their high price tag. They were also critically under-seasoned, something I can’t look past when paying $15 for pasta, let alone $25+. And no, fresh pasta does not warrant a $10 increase in quality. If you want food like this, I’d recommend a number of places within walking distance that’ll be much kinder on your wallet.
Local or destination spot, this is an absolute gem in Brooklyn, uniquely nestled on a residential corner. One of my favorites is the truffle pasta, perfection! The servers are kind and make your experience feel special, each and every time. I’ve been coming here for a decade. A go to for special occasions, happy hour, or bringing visiting friends and family. I have tried most and love all the dishes, even after the menu changed a few years ago with new chef. Meals and experiences here are transportive….even more now with the gelato!
I got the truffle tagliatelle. While I was greeted with a lot of truffle on my plate, the taste itself was not anything special and I only was willing to spend the $35 because of the truffle. I've had better tagliatelle. The Gelato, however was absolutely amazing! My favorite was the olive oil and bread crumb and the Italian cream. The serve staff was incredibly hospitable prompt, jovial, and so friendly! I would come here again just not for the food. The restaurant is in a really nice part of Brooklyn too.

I always feel like a welcomed guest in Italy when I get to spend time here. The food, the service, and the decore combine for an immersive experience that I have not found anywhere else (this side of the Atlantic).
What a place. The owners and staff are incredible. The food is absolutely delicious. The gelato- chef’s kiss.Beyond reasonably priced. Must go. And then again.
A favorite for many years and all seasons! They are patient with children; and make me feel like a Tuscan lady. ? Phenomenal service!
Love the vibe here. Authentic, amazing food, lovely cozy atmosphere. Friendly hospitable staff. Five stars all around.

Great ambiance and friendly/attentive staff. Food is delicious. Recommend the fig and gorgonzola salad!
Food was great, it was very busy and very noisy (music and people).
